摘要
Exchange bias (EB) is investigated in singly inverted FeO/Fe(3)O(4) core-shell nanocrystals by vibrating sample magnetometry. A horizontal and vertical shift of the field-cooled (FC) hysteresis loop with respect to the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) hysteresis loop is observed below the blocking temperature of EB (T(B)(EB)approximate to T(N)). An enhancement of the superparamagnetic blocking temperature (T(B)(SP)approximate to 190 K) with respect to the expected value is observed from the ZFC/FC measurement of m(T). Furthermore, the value of T(B)(SP) is nearly constant for applied fields ranging from 25 to 200 Oe as a result of the exchange coupling at the antiferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic interface.
